Benington is a small, rural civil parish in the Borough of Boston in Lincolnshire, England, set within the characteristic flat landscape of the Fens. The area is dominated by arable farming and a network of drains and dykes that speak to centuries of land reclamation; its low-lying terrain and open skies make it a quiet place for walking and birdwatching, with the tidal marshes of The Wash not far away.
Locally the village retains a strong sense of community, centred on traditional parish institutions and a handful of listed buildings and a historic parish church, while many residents work in agriculture or commute into Boston and surrounding towns. The combination of rural economy, Fenland heritage and easy access to local market towns gives Benington a distinctly countryside character with visible layers of history.
